| DISTANCE GEOMETRY, SIMULATED ANNEALING, RELAXATION MATRIX CALCULATION, MINIMIZATION |
THE STRUCTURE WAS MODELED USING 712 DISTANCE CONSTRAINTS AND 13 HYDROGEN BOND CONSTRAINTS PER MONOMER, INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS BETWEEN THE MONOMERS. THE C2 SYMMETRY CONSTRAINT DOUBLES THIS NUMBER OF CONSTRAINTS FOR THE DIMER. 100 STRUCTURES WERE GENERATED USING DSPACE, OF WHICH THE 10 WITH THE FEWEST VIOLATIONS FROM THE DISTANCE CONSTRAINTS WERE CHOSEN FOR THE AVERAGE STRUCTURE. THIS AVERAGE STRUCTURE WAS FURTHER REFINED BY CONSTRAINED MINIMIZATION WITH DISCOVER USING THE ALL-ATOM AMBER FORCE FIELD AND A DIELECTRIC CONSTANT OF 2.0 TO EMULATE THAT OF THE MICELLE INTERIOR. |
